Johnny Depp’s Fantastic Beasts co-star Dan Fogler comments on ‘messy’ sacking
Fogler plays Jacob Kowalski in the Fantastic Beasts series, a muggle who gets involved in the magical world with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne).
The 44-year-old explained: “What’s best for Johnny and what’s best for the film may not be equal.
“The right decision may not be what’s fair. It’s not simple. I love Johnny and want him to be the best he can be. I selfishly want him at his best if I ever get to work with him again.”
Fogler added: “It’s not my decision. If it was, I’d bend over backwards to shoot around him and hope production doesn’t come to a screeching halt amidst lockdown rules which are already precarious, and pray that we get a decent performance amidst all the stress.”
